Keep Fighting, Izuku [BakuDeku]

Forgive Me Kacchan

Bakugo POV

I awake and read the texts that came from Deku. Is he okay? Did he relapse?Dammit, Deku. Don't do this shit to me. 

I await his response and check my phone every minute. It seems like an eternity before I give up after five minutes and decide to call him. 

Izuku: "H-hello, Kacchan." He says his voice quivering. 

He sounds like he's been crying. Dammit Katski, keep your volume up next time. What happens if next time he doesn't answer when you call?!

Bakugo: "Izuku, are you okay? You sound like you've been crying?" He remains silent. Dammit Deku, what's wrong?" I inquire impatiently. 

Izuku: "Kacchan I... I messed up." He says weakly, his words barely audible over the phone. 

Bakugo: "Izuku, what do you mean, 'you messed up'?" I say quickly. 

He remains silent making me even more nervous. 

Bakugo: "Izuku, you didn't..." I say sadly. 

Izuku: "Kacchan I- I can explain-" I interrupt him before he can finish. 

Bakugo: "Shut the hell up, Izuku, you damn idiot. I'm coming over." I reply sharply before hanging up the phone before he can protest. 

Damn Nerd. Thinking he can just relapse and not talk to me about it. 

I check my phone 3:45 am. Bastard is lucky my parents are understanding and it's summer. 

I send Mom a text. <Hey Hag, Izuku is having a really horrible night. I'm gonna go stay over there tonight to make sure he's okay. Don't worry, I'll be careful. I can take care of myself. Oh and you can't say no because I already left.>

She actually answers surprisingly fast.

Mom: <Dammit Katski, a little more warning next time. You nearly gave me a heart attack when I heard the front door close. I'll kick your ass if you pull this shit again. But take good care of Izuku, he's a good kid. I'm glad you'll be careful and that you actually care about your childhood friend. Say hi to Inko for me.>

Izuku POV

Kacchan is coming over. Shit. He's gonna kick my ass. I get up from my bed and rush to my bathroom. I turn on the light and pull up the sleeve of my shirt. My cuts are still bleeding. A lot. Shit those are deeper than I intended. 

I pull my shirt over my head, exposing my six pack in the mirror. I run my white shirt under cold water to try and get the blood stains out of it. Great. Now Mom's gonna kill me. I sigh. I look down at my black sweat pants relieved to see no blood on those. I quickly rush to my bed and see blood on the sheets. And now I look like a damn girl who started her period. Even more fantastic.

I pull the sheets off my bed and grab new ones out of my closet. I try my best to hurry before Kacchan gets here. I don't want him to see the blood. 

I hear a ring at the doorbell and rush to the door just as I finish making my bed. I quickly throw my sheets onto my bathroom floor behind the door and close it behind me before I head downstairs. I run to the door quickly, hoping mom didn't wake up from the doorbell. 

I unlock the door and open it, a warm blast of air hitting me with the reality I forgot to put on a shirt. Kacchan bursts through the door wearing his black tank top and pants. 

"Izuku you mother-" He pauses, realizing I'm shirtless. His face turns beet red and he seems to lose his train of thought, staring at my abs. 

I can't help but laugh. "C'mon, Kacchan, I'll go put on a shirt." I heads towards my room and he follows me silently. We arrive in my All Might decorated room and I head for my dresser. I pull out a green long sleeve shirt, silently hoping the bleeding has stopped. I'm about to put it over my head when I hear, "Wait."

I turn to Kacchan expectantly. Why wait? Unless... he likes it better with my shirt off? My face heats up at the thought.

"Izuku, put the shirt down. C'mere." He says softly. I put my shirt on top of my dresser and sit next to him on my bed. He gently grabs my right arm and pulls it towards himself revealing the cuts. Blood still seeps from them. He remains silent and stands up with my hand in his. He leads me to the bathroom and grabs the first aid kit from under my sink. I guess he's patched me up after training enough times this summer to know where it's at. 

Silently he cleans each of the cuts with hydrogen peroxide. Then he wraps gauze around my arm and avoids my gaze all the while. The silence is deafening. He finally breaks the silence as he's putting away the med kit. 

"Izuku, why did you do it? You made so much progress. You promised you would talk to me instead of cutting..." He says uncharacteristically quiet.

"Kacchan... it's okay. I just got so caught up in everything. I was thinking about how things used be before I lived with mom and how-" I trail off. 

He closes the cabinet door and looks me in the eye. "How what, Izuku?" He says firmly.

"I was thinking about how you used to hate me..." I trail off, my eyes stinging once again.

Bakugo POV

I freeze when I hear him say those words, his emerald eyes looking at the ground. 

"Deku, you damn idiot!" I say anger rising in my body. I pick him up and carry him to the bed. I throw him onto the bed and climb on top of him.

"K-Kacchan what are you doing?" His face turning red nervously. 

I grab his arms and pin them to the bed. I put my face directly in front of his trying to be serious and not think about the fact I'm on top of my shirtless boyfriend. 

"Deku, listen to me." I command sternly. "I never hated you. I know it seemed that way and I'm sorry I couldn't control my nervousness better. That's on me. But I love you, damn idiot. I could never hate you. Never. So don't ever think that. I'm sorry I couldn't stop you. But I'm here now, Izuku." I say passionately. 

I let go of his arms and lean the weight of my body on my arms on either side of his head. 

"It's okay, Kacchan. I'm sorry I broke our promise. I just panicked and you weren't answering and I just felt so alone. It was terrifying without you being there." He says softly. 

"I'll forgive you on one condition." I smirk. "Kiss me, Nerd." He nods and leans up to kiss me as I lean down. Our lips connect and I feel warmth spread over my body. I run my fingers through his hair. "I really do love you, Deku." I say softly.

I open my eyes after our kiss and see tears running down his face. I wipe them away. "Don't cry, Izuku. I forgive you." I say softly. 

"Kacchan I- I just love you so much. I'm so glad you're here." He says with a smile on his face, wiping away the last of the tears. He pulls me on top of him closing the space between us. I lean over to the other side of him and pull him into my arms. I feel him get closer and we get under the blankets. It's okay, Izuku. I'm here. We fall asleep like that, cuddling, appreciating the warmth of each other and the love we share.
